Before 1803, the areas of today's Regensburg district belonged primarily to the Prince Diocese of Regensburg , to Spa Bavaria and to the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg . In 1628 the Upper Palatinate fell to Bavaria, including parts of the current district.

Regional courts

The Stadtamhof district court was established as early as 1803 . In 1810 the city of Regensburg became an immediate district . In 1811 the Regenstauf Regional Court was established. Furthermore, there was the princely since 1811 Thurn and Taxis ' sche domination Court Woerth, from 1850, the district court of the same name was built. The city of Regensburg and all regional courts belonged to the Regenkreis , which was renamed Upper Palatinate in 1838 .

In 1857, the new Regensburg Regional Court was established from 43 municipalities from the Stadtamhof Regional Court and one municipality from the Kelheim Regional Court. The reduced Stadtamhof district court remained in existence.

District Offices

From an administrative point of view, the Regensburg District Office was formed in 1862 through the merger of the regional courts of the older order of Regensburg and Wörth. The regional courts Regenstauf and Stadtamhof were also merged to form the Stadtamhof district office in administrative terms. However, the city of Regensburg did not belong to these districts.

On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Regensburg district office received municipalities from the Roding district office on January 1, 1880 when the municipality of Pittrich was ceded to the Straubing district office . At the same time, the Stadtamhof district was expanded to include the districts of Hemau (was dissolved), Kelheim and Roding.

The judicial districts within the Regensburg District Office were changed in 1879 and 1905. The Stadtamhof district was also expanded in 1879 with the addition of communities from the neighboring Hemau, Kelheim and Roding districts. The area of ​​the city of Regensburg expanded significantly in 1924 through incorporations at the expense of the Stadtamhof district. On October 1, 1929, the Stadtamhof district office was finally dissolved and its area assigned to the Regensburg district office.

On April 1, 1938, the city received the municipalities of Dech Betten , Großprüfening and Ziegetsdorf from the Regensburg District Office.
